Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference. The vrend_decode_reset function in vrend_decode.c in virglrenderer before 0.6.0 allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and QEMU process crash) by destroying context 0 (zero).
